The BXH set of RI strains is used in the genetic analysis of numerous complex or potentially complex physiologic phenotypes including differences in thyroid function (Graves' disease), bone mineral density, atherosclerosis and leukemia. The BXH set is derived from the C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) and C3H/HeJ (Stock No. 000659) progenitor strains.

DescriptionThe BXH set of RI strains is used in the genetic analysis of numerous complex or potentially complex physiologic phenotypes including differences in thyroid function (Graves' disease), bone mineral density, atherosclerosis and leukemia.
A SNP data set is available through the Mouse Phenome Database for the BXH strains.
Another BXH genotype data set consists of 472 MIT CA-repeat dinucleotide microsatellite markers that were typed at UTHSC from 1998 through 2000. The file is taken directly from Williams and colleagues (2001) without any significant modification in genotypes. This order of markers has been updated to conform to the March 2005 assembly of the mouse genome (Build 34 or UCSC mm6). The data set may be downloaded from the University of Tennessee Gene Network site . A data set from Mouse Genome Informatics
Contributed Data Sets is also available.

DevelopmentThe first 12 BXH recombinant inbred (RI) lines were generated and maintained at The Jackson Laboratory by Dr. Benjamin Taylor (labcode Ty) in 1969. Dr. Linda Siracusa at the Kimmell Cancer Center (labcode Kcc) generated a second set of 8 strains in 1995 by selecting for tyrosinase-negative albinos; a gene on the central part of chromosome (Chr) 7. BXH strains are derived from the C57BL/6J (Stock No. 000664) and C3H/HeJ (Stock No. 000659) progenitor strains. Several of the original strains are extinct. The Jackson Laboratory currently distributes 10 of the original Ty strains and 2 of the Kcc strains.

Repository-Live.Repository-Live represents an exclusive set of over 1800 unique mouse models across a vast array of research areas. Breeding colonies provide mice for large and small orders and fluctuate in size depending on current research demand. If a strain is not immediately available, you will receive an estimated availability timeframe for your inquiry or order in 2-3 business days. Repository strains typically are delivered at 4 to 8 weeks of age. Requests for specific ages will be noted but not guaranteed and we do not accept age requests for breeder pairs. However, if cohorts of mice (5 or more of one gender) are needed at a specific age range for experiments, we will do our best to accommodate your age request.

The Jackson Laboratory's Genotype Promise

The Jackson Laboratory has rigorous genetic quality control and mutant gene genotyping programs to ensure the genetic background of JAX® Mice strains as well as the genotypes of strains with identified molecular mutations. JAX® Mice strains are only made available to researchers after meeting our standards. However, the phenotype of each strain may not be fully characterized and/or captured in the strain data sheets. Therefore, we cannot guarantee a strain's phenotype will meet all expectations. To ensure that JAX® Mice will meet the needs of individual research projects or when requesting a strain that is new to your research, we suggest ordering and performing tests on a small number of mice to determine suitability for your particular project.Ordering InformationJAX® MiceSurgical and Preconditioning ServicesJAX® ServicesCustomer Services and Support
